First of all, it is not your Iqama in yellow. It is you company's status with the labor office which is in yellow. Unless your company is in Green, Iqama cannot be renewed. And for the company to become green they have to employ Saudi's to the recommended minimum number, which depends on the trade license of the company.

Once they hire the required number of Saudi's, and register their details with labor office, it will take minimum one week to reflect in the system. the evaluation is done only once in a week.
